or go to the Singer support page

If, you go on www.youtube.com and ask how to remove the cover on a Singer sewing machine, they show you step by step and best of all it is free. Good luck.

You can probably by the service manual from Sewing Parts Online, but as I explained in your other post, you really don't need it.

The manual would probably be helpful:

Make sure the bobbin is seated all the way on the winding pin. There may be an adjustment for it--a technician can probably fix it for you. However, you can also try lifting the thread with a pencil tip just before it winds onto the bobbin. Some of my machines wind the thread unevenly (more on the bottom than the top of the bobbin) and I balance it out by lifting it when winding.

....

Hai, you check the bobbin tension.

i have this machine and would be glad to answer any questions for you

i was having the same problem. try putting in a new slide plate - the pressure from it holds the bobbin down, but it wears thin after a while. fixed mine.

slide plate may be worn - i had the same problem. try holding down the center of the bobbin with a pin while slide plate is in the winding position.
